I have been living in the neighborhood for the last 3 years, and this has been my go to place for nutritious, comforting and delicious meals! The salads are amazing, this place made me like kale!!! Also amazing customer service, a cute lady works there who I look forward to talking to when I get food!
This is an absolutely fantastic place. The ingredients are fresh as can be, and the seasoning and cooking are just perfect. The women who run the place are warm and welcoming.

Best falafel plate in Toronto all the sides are amazing the eggplant curry and Lima beans! You have to come here!
So I finally tried Delina after hearing people rave about it—and yeah, I get the hype now.
It’s a cozy little spot on Queen East, not fancy at all, but super welcoming. You walk in and you’re greeted with warmth, good energy, and the amazing smell of spices and grilled meats.
🍽️ What I ordered:
I went for a chicken plate—you get to build your own combo, which I love. I added lentils, beet-potato salad, kale, and eggplant. Everything tasted super fresh, not greasy or overly salty like a lot of takeout spots.
The chicken was nicely spiced and moist (thankfully not dry). The lentils were a standout—comforting and flavorful without being heavy. And that beet salad? Surprisingly addictive. You can tell they care about the ingredients.
My friend got a falafel wrap and straight-up said it was one of the best he’s had in Toronto. Crunchy outside, soft inside, and not drowned in sauce. And for the vegans out there—Delina has your back. Tons of veggie and vegan-friendly options that aren’t an afterthought.
💰 Price:
Honestly, the portions are huge for the price. I paid around $12–$14 for my meal, and I was stuffed. Great bang for your buck, especially in Toronto.
🤝 Service:
The guy behind the counter was super friendly and patient with all my indecisiveness. You can tell they’ve got regulars—people kept coming in and chatting like they’ve been eating there for years.
🛵 Delivery vs Dine-In:
Dine-in was great, but I’ve heard from some folks that delivery can be hit or miss (stuff like the meat drying out a bit or the rice getting mushy). If you’re nearby, just pick it up or eat in if you can.
⸻
🌟 Final Thoughts:
If you’re looking for healthy, hearty food that actually tastes amazing, Delina delivers. It’s not some flashy Instagram spot—but it’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back. Simple, soulful, and satisfying.
Would I go again? 100%. Would I recommend it? Yes—especially if you’re vegetarian, vegan, or just tired of greasy fast food.

Amazing food and service and great family recipes. Couldn’t recommend it more such great value.
I was given a stale and cold samosas to go. Very disappointing.

Not great things: Food was good but not great, especially considering the high prices (e.g. $9 plus taxes for a small bowl of salad). Their plastic cutlery was very flimsly with jagged edges (spoon cut the inside of my lip). They had no forks (plastic or otherwise), and when we asked for a fork they took a used plastic fork, washed it, and gave that to us. They had a kale and apple salad behind the counter, but when I ordered it became clear there was just 3 pieces of apple on the top and no apples in the rest of the salad, and in the whole bowl I ordered they specifically avoided giving me any apples at all until I explicitly asked for some, at which point I got a single apple piece. This felt like a bait and switch / dishonest advertising.
Good things: The person behind the counter was very nice and the atmosphere was also lovely (bright colors, plants, clean restaurant, clean bathroom, etc.)
